Roving Reporter : Missoni

Missoni is a total institution, producing some of the best knitwear, A/W truly is her season.

Like with many designers this season, Missoni went for a rather subdued colour palette, with flashes of dulled down colour, even the turquoise and orange tones felt lacking in warmth.

The grey and brown and cream tones were so cold, but the garments themselves were so rich and beautiful themselves that they complimented the colours well.

There were some incredibly inventive knitted dresses, with 'Missoni' style patterns, layered with patterned tights, knitted leggings and trousers. There were over sized scarves, that draped into 'hoods' and beautiful hooded capes and coats with fur trims.

I simply adored the cropped sleeved, wool jackets and the over-sized textured knits.

The styling was spot on with cut off chunky gloves and knee high socks. Missoni girls are definitely going to be keeping warm this winter in their fur hats! Perfect for those chilly Milanese months!
